Hello everyone,   Having recently moved here from Memphis, TN, I've been immersing myself in understanding the local market dynamics and am eager to connect with all of you.I'm particularly interested in discussing is the varying levels of rehab quality we see across different neighborhoods.

You get better quality tenants since they've put some significant downpayment.

The proper way to approach this appraisal problem is (summarized below):* find reasonably similar comps - find relatively recent duplex sales in the Subject's market area and adjust for differences, based on market response (i.e. how much more/less buyers would typically pay for certain characteristics like size of units and lot, location, quality/condition, etc).* In the absence of similar comps - go back in time to find any similar comps, no matter how long ago and adjust for market trend differences (appreciation, etc), as well as other adjustments as typical (size, bed/bath, condition/quality, location, etc).* Go to nearby market areas/neighborhoods and find reasonably similar duplex sales and adjust for market area/neighborhood differences as required - along with the other adjustments.* Find reasonable 3 or 4 unit (not more than 4, and they can use sfr's, but those are typically not as good for comparison.

Also, I am sure there are many quality property managers out there, but unfortunately the pickling were slim in my particular sub market.

Let me know if you are open minded about sharing your insights with me via audio / video.

In general, I would say it’s not worth joining, is a huge waste of money, and is overall extremely poor quality.

Raise your screening standards but allow pets and you should end up with better-quality renters that pay more and stay longer.

I hope you like smokers, because they all smoke like chimneys and have no regard for flicking butts on your property....eventually my parents went on a trip and of course the sober house people had a perfect view of them loading up their luggage, and what ya know after 25 years of not a single crime...they were burglarized, by a homeless junky ******* that was friends of one of the residents or was a previous resident....The sober house operators were ******** and not cooperative....their are more than a few of their patients were loud obnoxious gang banger types, giving the hard stares and intimidation types of attitude.Lastly.... on more a general note... the affordable health care act made some seriously horrible changes to the way insurance can deal with addictions....it used to be that their was a limit to how many sober claims a patient could make, and then the insurance company turned off the tap....now, a patient can relapse as much as they want and the insurance has to allow them back into another sober program...it essentially incentivizes the sober programs to fail, because it assures them a steady flow of repeat customers.Lastly, I found the few sober house operators that I came into contact with, during this time, to be vile phony insurance fraudsters and street urchins, acting like their title made them actual healthcare providers.Just my 2c...and sincerest apologies to the 10%(if that) of the industry that are a really providing a quality and ethical service.

I find that asking those questions (in bold), I get higher quality/deeper answers.

That however is rarely the case unless you are a tract builder and I rarely see the quality of those homes close to what a custom builder will provide you.
